COVID-19 And Nigeria Education; A Different Bore Game -By Saheed Damilare Abdulhakeem

With the plan and deception in Nigeria, are Nigerian students aren’t going to have a blank study year? By who and for what purpose?

These are the aforethought that warrisome with what I’ve noticed on the present saga shows the negativity towards education in Nigeria and smooth way of looting public resources to the detriment of lower class. However, it is an iota fact that can not be controverted with any fallacy that COVID-19 have come to stay like malaria and such should not be hindrance of getting down in the world record. 

It is only Nigeria that a way forward to solve problem is another problem on its own. Why on containing the spread COVID-19 will brings stoppage to our education line for a whole year? Really disgusting and sad. 

Some time, mass meddle on some issue is the next for positive as it is concern in Nigeria. ASSU cases is on ground couple years back that have not being easing educating in Nigeria and no solutions to that. Now Pandemic issue is presently playing its role in line with all those chance players (Government). This is because justice system is dead and thus, Nigeria is sleeping under the blanket of lawlessness. 

Aside being affected as a student, should someone implore me with reasons while schools should be closed till moment when the thousand of people can be assemble for political campaign and ceremony gathering as well among other activities that are currently alive. This is a total jungle justice. Sad. 

It is here in Nigeria where ignoramus will just tell you that your opinion are trash without coming up with a tangible point to straighten the situations better. It is only Nigeria I’ve ever seen a co-colleague agitating and supporting the so called “govern-idiot” on the issue of closure of schools in Nigeria. Well, as it is said by Socrates that everyone has the right to ventilate their point according to their own perspective but regardless of this, let brain engaged before we put mouth in gear. 

I’ve never seen any leader in government since 1999, and it’s always so until you chanced to be player there. This is because going for public office is a going on the basis of weight of pocket. If it’s not directive then it should be allusive that we’re practicing demonstration of craziness and madness in Nigeria, and not democracy.

There’s nothing to write about again because 85% of us have allowed negative and toxic habit to get a place on our affairs. Imagine, you’re fainting for being question by your fellow thieves, I wonder what will happen when we stand before almighty to account for our deeds. Who is fooling who? Lol. I’m enjoying your movies.  

Already, vision 2020 have failed everyone because most of our thinkers have much money and less education. And too much money obstruct future though education alone gives limited a view and a life without money leave us in darkness, only money and education put one on a balance life. I think self-improvement is the name of the game. Nigeria is currently in need of people with allegiance of religion irrespective of their religious and those critical thinkers with appropriate knowledge to plan the future, because everything will continue as meaningless if people of these quality are not centerpiece of our policies. 

I’m sure Edo and Ondo gubernatorial election won’t postpone for pandemic reason but time of other Nigerian is wasting. Reopen our schools with best precautionary measure is the best way to avoid a blank year because no one knows how long this pandemic will panic.
